fresh or preserved

[Maurice]

Am new to this and was wondering what you guys opinion of preserved bait is. I have seen packs of it and wondered if it was value for money and good for catching or a waste of time

[fishypaul]

most bait in my opinion is ok to have in your tackle box if you run out of fresh,
there is no substitute for a good fresh bait

[mithrandir]

we had a few people try Lazy lug, and there seemed to be a good reaction, I am never organised enough to buy bait in advance so have never tried it.

Maybe we could get Richard to contact them and get free samples for us to do an exhaustive forum trial.

Ive used lazy lug and caught whiting , pout ,
but i also paid 9 quid for a pack of fish n strips green peeler , and caught sod all , not even a bite !!!!, its great as a back up , but as said you just cant beat fresh bait ,

for me its fresh or certain frozen baits other wise dont bother going
just forget the preserved baits as thay catch the angler well before the fish

Can't beat fresh, never tried lazy stuff as beach is only down the road from me. Have noticed in the past that decent salted and oiled frozen has done well at certain times of the year though. Lug that is!!!

not impressed by frozen but used it as a backup. I once took some smelly lug on blue mink out of fleetwood and outfished all on board. the lug had been overlooked and left in the car for 2 days before we found it and I threw it in the freezer. I did the car out with 2 bottles of air freshener.
